the last book I ever read (The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America, excerpt three)

DAVID WEISSMAN (director, We Were Here): As things got worse and worse, you could not be in the Castro without being confronted by AIDS all the time. You would see someone walking up the street in those sagging sweatpants, which was kind of the most common look, those skeletal bodies with sagging sweatpants covering just the most bony frame, carrying a cane. You’d think this person was, like, seventy-five years old and then you’d realize they were thirty and they were someone you had slept with.
